Helping the poor in Guatemala

Here’s one inspiring news in the world of cosmetic surgery.

SeaCoastOnline reports that a plastic surgeon at York Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center in York Maine named Dr. Sarah Holland will be going to Guatemala City, Guatemala to provide volunteer work on reconstructive surgery for poor children with facial defects.

Holland will join a team of surgeons, nurses and other medical professionals from Jan. 20 to 28, as part of Children of the Americas, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing necessary medical and surgical services to indigent children and their families throughout the world.

Holland is also collecting eyeglasses that will go to Eyeglass Afternoon.

This event provides Guatemalan mothers who earn their living sewing and weaving with the glasses for their fine handiwork. Glasses can be brought to York Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center. Donors will receive a 10 percent discount on aesthetic service packages.

It is always uplifting to know that there are plastic surgeons like Holland who are willing to give what they have to those who desperately need it but couldn’t afford to pay. We need more people like this in our society.
